Trinity Exam Fees for 2025

Trinity exam fees vary based on the location of your course provider. If you signed up for the teaching practice in Hong Kong, please contact English for Asia for more information regarding your exam fees.

Exam fees are due at the time of registration (2 months before your assessment takes place).

*The fees for units 2-4 are charged together as a group. However, candidates only need to submit unit 3 (the phonology interview) and unit 4 (the teaching practice) at the same time. You can submit the unit 2 portfolio later without paying any additional fees.

• If you have paid for a personalised online tutorial (€60) and you do not turn up (or you do not cancel with at least 24 hours notice), the tutorial fee will need to be paid again.
